south african art, design & handmade goods

eastern free state

Meerkatkolonie in Rosendal (Eastern Free State) is a beautiful little gallery that houses the works of artists Dahla Hulme (whom I’ve feature here before) and Michelle Nigrini. We spent last weekend there and if, like me, you’re enchanted by art, handmade things and dusty roads littered with lazy dogs, then this is the town for you.

You’ll find Dahla and Henriette with their Golden Retrievers on the stoep making beautiful things by hand, whilst Josephina gives you the grand tour and proudly showcases her handmade dolls.

I’ll have to do another post to show you some of the other gems in this quaint little one donkey town (multiple donkeys if Henriette has her way), but in the mean time you can find more info here:
